He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost thesame as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, "I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like." Most men don't care about this and may answer, "This may be the right color and the right size, but I won't waste my time trying it on."For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasn't decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to "have a look around". At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say "It looks good on you." Most women are always looking for bargains（特价商品）. A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厌烦的） process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decide what they want .A. before they go shoppingB. after they go into shopsC. right awayD. after thinking about it for a while（2）What does "… but I won't waste my time trying it on" mean in the second paragraph?A. The jacket is not the right color.B. The man has no time.C. The jacket is not what the man wants.D. The man doesn't want to buy anything at all.（3）The underlined word "article" in the second paragraph is .A. a piece of writingB. a part of an agreementC. a thingD. a jacket（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Men buy clothes faster than women.B. Most women always look for bargains.C. Most women like to have a look around.D. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the children.5．阅读理解Maybe your childhood piano lessons made you never, want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you.

The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets（厕所）, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice（老鼠） and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal （金属）. The mental can be reused and recycled.

Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alonewith your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的）than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.（1）The passage is mainly for ________.A. the teachersB. the parentsC. the teenagersD. every reader（2）What does the underlined sentence tell us?A. Don't tell anything to others.B. Don't care about what others think.C. You should share your feelings with others.D. You have to stay inside and think it over.（3）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Sharing your feelings makes you closer to people.B. Worrying too much even makes you feel sick.C. There are many ways to speak up your feelings.D. Teenagers are more private than adults.（4）In the writer's opinion, what will happen if you talk with someone about your worries?A. They will help you find ways.B. They will laugh at you.C. They will tell others about your worries.D. They will share the feelings with you.8．阅读理解A proverb is a short, well-known saying that tells a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保证的）.Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off untiltomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today. Thanks for listening.（1）A proverb is ________.A. a long sayingB. not famous at allC. about common truthD. only popular in China（2）The proverb "you are what you eat" advises us to ________.A. eat what we likeB. have a healthy dietC. eat an apple every dayD. eat as much as we can（3）If someone is slow in action, we can tell him/her the proverb "________".A. the early bird catches the wormB. do not put all your eggs in one basketC. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyD. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones（4）What is this passage probably used for?A. An English textbook.B. An English TV program.C. An English speech contest.D. An English radio program.9．阅读理解Almost every Chinese person can recite（背诵）the two lines of the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." But sadly, many of us don't get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million（百万）people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. There were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011. Six million children die of hunger every year.Chinese people are well-known for being friendly. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten up all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have known the importance of saving food. What should we do in our daily life to waste less food?⑴Don't order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.⑵Don't leave any food in your bowls while having meals.⑶Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.（1）What's the real meaning of the underlined sentence?A. 春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子。

成都英才学校八年级英语阅读理解专题doc一、八年级英语上册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解This week is Computer Science Education Week. During the week, students around the world will be taking part in an "Hour of Code" and learning a little about programming computers. This year, there will be more than 200.000 events in over 180 countries.The U.S. Congress first created Computer Science Education Week in 2009 to remember Grace Hopper, one of the women who played an important part in the early days of computers.Hadi Partovi came up with the idea of the Hour of Code. He thinks coding is an important skill and that it's important for schools to teach computer science. He started the Hour of Code in 2013 because he was worried that computer science was not a big part of what schools taught in most states.To spread his idea, he got the help from many famous people. Some were famous for working with computers, like Bill Gates. Others were famous in other areas. Mr. Partovi got a lot of money for his idea from big companies like Facebook. Google, and Microsoft.Students who take part in the Hour of Code complete a short coding challenge that is broken down into small, simple steps. The challenge is supposed to take about an hour in all.To raise the interest of students, the challenges are often tied in with popular movies or games. For example, challenges have been built around Angry Birds. Mine Craft. Frozen. and Star Wars—One test of the program's success is whether students keep going once the time is up. It turns out that many of them do. Last year, teachers reported that 92% of their students coded for more than an hour.（1）Who thought of the idea of the Hour of Code?A. Bill Gates.B. Hadi Partovi.C.

成都英才学校八年级英语下册期末阅读理解汇编一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解Not every dog is right for children and not every child is right for a dog. Most dog or child problems I meet involve children under six years old. If your children are under six, you should invest a great deal of time and thoughts before choosing a new dog. Large guard dogs or dogs which have a history of being aggressive（好斗的） or biting should be avoided. Large and high-energy dogs that can knock children over would not be good choices either. Instead, parents should consider the little gentle dogs.Parents with little children are usually very busy. They often do not have free time or desire to spend hours cleaning or walking a dog. In fact, a dog requires almost as much time as a child does. So ask yourself if you are ready to keep a dog when you are already very busy. As a veterinarian, many of the problems I meet are caused by the excuses like "the dog would be good for the kids" or "the children begged for one", but the parents do not really want a dog. If the parents cannot completely care for or train the dog, then I usually stop them from keeping a dog, otherwise it is not fair to the dog.（1）According to the writer, most dog or child problems happen to children who are .A. under 6 years oldB. from 6 to 8 years oldC. under 10 years oldD. over 12 years old （2）Which kind of dog might be suitable for children under 6?A. Large guard dogs.B. Large and high-energy dogs.C. Large aggressive dogs.D. Little gentle dogs.（3）From the passage, we can know that the writer is a（n） .A. reporterB. animal doctorC. expertD. teacher（4）The writer thinks that it is unfair if .A. parents don't raise a dog for their childrenB. children are not allowed to walk the dogC. a mother with young kids needs to walk the dogD. parents keep a pet dog but don't care for it well2．阅读理解Lots of people make it as their aim to get to the top of Mount Everest. Mark is one of them. The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing New Zealand's highest mountain, Mount Cook. He was caught in a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved. But that couldn't make him lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.From the top of the world's highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it. His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping. She couldn't hear him clearly on the phone. She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his "legs" didn't work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8,850-meter mountain."I'm not doing this to be the first. I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Everest is really a great aim. I want to send a message that I can do anything better.

When they came out, the whole restaurant was watching them in silence. The son paid the waiter for their food and started walking out with his father.At that time, an old man in the restaurant called out to the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind？""No sir, I haven't," the son replied."Yes, you have!
